Smart Grid Technologies Training System, LabVolt Series, 8010-C5

General Description
The Smart Grid Technologies Training System combines a modular design approach with computer-based data
acquisition and control to provide unrivaled training in smart grid technologies. The system features the FourQuadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960, and the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model
9063, two state-of-the-art USB peripherals that greatly enhance the learning experience of students.
Training begins with the Home Energy Production course. This course familiarizes students with the
fundamentals of home energy production from renewable resources such as wind and sunlight. It covers both
stand-alone home energy production and grid-tied home energy production. The course also explains and
demonstrates how home energy production is an important contributor to the implementation of a smart grid.
Students then continue with the following three courses dealing with smart grid technologies:

Static Var Compensator (SVC)

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)

High-Voltage DC (HVDC) Transmission Systems

These courses introduce students to the fundamentals of SVCs, STATCOMs, and HVDC transmission systems.
Students learn that SVCs and STATCOMs, which are examples of flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS), can
be used in conjunction with HVDC transmission systems to greatly enhance the controllability and power
transfer capability of a power network and are thus essential tools to the implementation of a smart grid. These
courses also allow students to experiment with actual SVCs, STATCOMs, and HVDC transmission systems
implemented with power electronics modules.
The Smart Grid Technologies Training System is part of the Electric Power Technology Training Systems, Series
8010. Each training system in Series 8010 is based on the Electric Power Technology Training Program and
provides a turn-key solution dealing with some aspects of the wide field of electrical energy. The exhaustive
courseware provided with each training system covers all the theory required to perform the laboratory
exercises, while review questions and unit tests allow students to test the knowledge they have gained.
The Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly modular in both courseware and hardware. Because
of this, courses and equipment from the program are available as required, either individually or in the context
of a specific training system. The program covers several different subjects in the field of electrical energy, such
as rotating machines, electrical power transmission, power electronics, home energy production from
renewable resources (wind and sunlight), large-scale electricity production from hydropower and wind power,
smart-grid technologies (SVC, STATCOM, HVDC transmission, etc.), storage of electrical energy in batteries, and
drive systems for small electric vehicles and cars.

Modular Design Approach

The modular approach for designing the training program and lab equipment enables instructors to start
building their electrical-energy laboratory with a basic package of courses and equipment and add new courses
and equipment over time without needless duplication of equipment.
All lab equipment consists of modules that can be inserted into a workstation. Module dimensions vary
between two standard EMS sizes: full-size and half-size. Symbols and diagrams representing the electrical
components in each module are clearly silk-screened on the front panel. Standard, color-coded safety banana
jacks are used to provide access to the various components in each module.

Features & Benefits

The training system teaches the principles behind certain key technologies allowing the implementation of a smart
grid. These technologies include home energy production, SVCs, STATCOMs, and HVDC transmission systems.

Realistic control functions implemented using the Data Acquisition and Control Interface via the LVDAC-EMS software
allow the implementation of complex devices such as an SVC and a STATCOM directly in the laboratory.

The course curriculum of the Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly flexible and allows a multitude of
different customized training solutions.

The courseware includes student manuals and instructor guides with all the theory required to perform the hands-on
experiments.

All workstations, modules, and components are sturdy and protected against electrical damage to ensure a
prolonged service life in a demanding environment such as a training laboratory.

The modular design approach of the training equipment allows a large variety of courses to be performed using a
small number of modules, without unnecessary duplication of equipment.

All electrical components can be interconnected without electric shock hazard since all live parts of the connection
leads are concealed and insulated.

All electrical symbols representing the components used in a laboratory exercise are clearly silk-screened on the
front panel of the modules.

The training system includes two highly versatile USB peripherals:


Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960-2. This module is used as a solar panel emulator with a
large variety of configurable parameters.
Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063. This module gives access to a large variety of computer-based
measuring instruments and is used to control the various power electronics devices necessary for home energy
production, as well as SVC, STATCOM, and HVDC implantation. All functions are implemented via the LVDAC-EMS
software.

The training system also includes four highly versatile power electronics modules controlled using the Data
Acquisition and Control Interface:
SVC Reactors/Thyristor Switched Capacitors, Model 8334. This module is used to implement the TCR and TSCs for
SVC operation.
Insulated DC-to-DC Converter, Model 8835. This module is used to implement a solar/wind power inverter with HF
transformer topology.
+ IGBT Chopper/Inverter, Model 8837-B. This module is used to implement the solar/wind power inverter for home
energy production and the three-phase PWM rectifier/inverter for STATCOM operation.
Power Thyristors, Model 8841. This module is used to implement the TCR and TSCs for SVC operation and the
thyristor converters for HVDC operation.

Software upgrades for LVDAC-EMS and firmware upgrades for the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply and

Equipment Description
Workstation
8134-20

The Workstation is a fully assembled workstation that serves the same purpose as the Mobile Workstation,
Model 8110-2, but has no storage cabinet or pull-out work surface. This workstation is intended for use on a
bench (not supplied) and is fitted with wooden feet to protect the bench top. Alternatively, this workstation can
be mounted on either a Mobile Storage Cabinet, Model 89117-1, to make a Mobile Workstation, Model 8110-2,
or on a Mobile Base, Model 88863, to make a mobile workstation without storage cabinet. In that case, it is
possible to mount and lock a second Workstation, Model 8134-2, on top of the first Workstation to double the
space available for EMS modules.
The Workstation consists of three rows of compartments designed to house EMS modules. Two of these rows
have full-height compartments while the other row has half-height compartments. Each row of full-height
compartments can accommodate up to three full-size EMS modules or six half-size EMS modules whereas the
row of half-height compartments can accommodate up to three half-size EMS modules.

Module Installation
The EMS modules are guided into position along stainless steel guide rails. Separators between each bay of the
workstation ensure perfect alignment of the EMS modules and allow their easy insertion in the workstation. A
holding mechanism ensures that each EMS module stays in place once it is installed in a compartment of the
workstation. Front-mounted push levers allow all EMS modules on a single row to be released for easy removal.

Safety Padlock Bars


Two safety padlock bars on the front of the workstation prevent students from removing EMS modules during
laboratory exercises. The bars can be removed and locked to the side of the workstation when the safety lock is
not necessary.

8353-00

The Transformer consists of a power transformer enclosed in a half-size EMS module. Both the primary and
secondary sides of the Transformer are made of two identical separate windings. Banana jacks on the module
front panel provide access to each winding, allowing connection in a variety of configurations. The Transformer
has a turns ratio of 1:5, when considering the totality of its primary and secondary windings. The Transformer
windings are polarized and the polarity of each winding is indicated by a small dot on the module front panel. A
thermistor output allows monitoring of transformer temperature to prevent overheating. A typical application of
the Transformer is to convert the energy stored in batteries to a suitable voltage level (for example, to the level
of the ac power network voltage).

Three-Phase Transformer
8354-05

The Three-Phase Transformer is a three-phase power tranformer, made up of a single magnetic core with three
branches, enclosed in a half-size EMS module. It is used to adjust the ac power network voltage to a value more
suitable for certain power electronics applications. For example, the Three-Phase Transformer is used to adapt
the value of the three-phase ac power network voltage to the value of the dc bus voltage in three-phase PWM
rectifiers/inverters. Twelve banana jacks on the module front panel provide individual access to each phase of
the power transformer, allowing connection in wye or delta configuration.

AC Power Network Interface


8622-05

The AC Power Network Interface is used to interface the ac power network with EMS modules. It consists of an
AC Power Inlet section comprising a C14 power cord inlet with 4 mm color-coded safety sockets for each
terminal (line, neutral, and ground). The line is fuse-protected between the inlet and the safety jacks. The
module also consists of an AC Power Outlet section comprising a standard ac outlet (country dependent) with
direct connections to safety sockets. A solid-state relay used for network disconnection and a filtering inductor
are also included in the model to complete the interface with the ac network.
All components of the AC Power Network Interface are industrial components and are mounted in the module to
allow visual inspection. Where necessary, these components are protected against overload or short-circuit
conditions by thermal-magnetic circuit breakers. The components are terminated on the module faceplate by 4
mm color-coded safety sockets and are identified by schematic symbols, numbered terminal codes, and
electrical ratings.

Lead-Acid Battery Pack


8802-10

The Lead-Acid Battery Pack is a half-size EMS module housing four 12 V lead-acid batteries connected in series.
The Lead-Acid Battery Pack thus provides a fixed dc voltage of 48 V, available at two color-coded safety banana
jacks on the module front panel. Three battery voltage test points allow measurement of the voltage provided
by each of the four 12 V batteries. A parallel charging input terminal permits the charging of several Lead Acid
Battery Packs connected in parallel at the same time. The Lead-Acid Battery Pack is protected against
overcurrents and short-circuits by electronic fuses that reset automatically. The Lead-Acid Battery Pack can be
used as a 48 V dc power source, and in energy production and storage applications implemented with the
Electricity and New Energy Training Equipment.

Power Supply
8821-25

The Power Supply can be used to power most of the EMS modules of the Electricity and New Energy Training
Equipment. This Power Supply provides dc power and ac power, both fixed and variable, single-phase and
three-phase. Color-coded safety banana jacks provide access to all the power sources in the Power Supply. All
these power sources can be used simultaneously, provided that the total current drawn does not exceed the
maximum current rating. A built-in voltmeter with selector switch and liquid crystal display (LCD) indicates the
voltage provided by any of the power sources. The inputs and outputs of the Power Supply are protected by
independent circuit breakers, as well as reset buttons on the front panel.
The Power Supply has a main power switch/supplementary protector used to turn the main power on and off.
The main power switch/supplementary protector protects all power lines of the Power Supply against
overcurrents. Three LED indicators on the front panel of the Power Supply light up when the main power is
turned on. There is one LED per phase. A 24 V ac output provides a low voltage required to power certain EMS
modules like the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063.

The Power Supply cannot supply all the amounts of current indicated by the
current ratings on its front panel at the same time. The current indicated for the
fixed ac three-phase output section can only be obtained if no current is drawn
from any other terminal, because this section is protected by the main circuit
breaker common to terminals 1 to 8 N. If currents flow in other sections, the
available current for the fixed ac three-phase output section decreases.

*Note

Terminals 4 to 7 N are protected by a common set of circuit breakers placed


after the fixed ac three-phase output section, which means that the current
capacity has to be shared between the two sections. For instance, if current of
the variable dc output section is at 70% of its nominal value, current drawn
from the variable ac output section should not exceed 30% of its nominal
value. The fixed dc output section is also protected by circuit breakers placed
after the fixed ac three-phase output section.

Insulated DC-to-DC Converter


8835-05

The Insulated DC-to-DC Converter is used to convert a low-voltage dc source, such as the Battery Pack, Model
8802, into a high-voltage dc output suitable for ac conversion. This type of converter (push-pull) can be found in
most switched-mode power supplies and commercial inverters. The Insulated DC-to-DC Converter mainly
consists of two power MOSFETs and their respective drivers, an high-frequency power transformer and a fullwave diode bridge on the output side. The MOSFETs can be controlled using an external controller or the digital
outputs of the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063. Internal electrical components are identified
on the module front panel by silkscreened symbols and terminated by 4 mm safety banana jacks.

IGBT Chopper/Inverter
8837-B5

The IGBT Chopper/Inverter module consists of seven insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) mounted in a
half-size EMS module. Six IGBTs are used to implement choppers and inverters. These IGBTs are protected
against a variety of abnormal operating conditions, such as short-circuits, overvoltage, overcurrent, and
overheat. The seventh IGBT and a dumping resistor allow smooth dissipation of excess energy at the dc bus.
The dumping circuit can be activated through the use of a toggle switch on the front panel.
The module switching control section allows 0/5 V pulse signals from either the Data Acquisition and Control
Interface, Model 9063, the Chopper/Inverter Control Unit, Model 9029, or any compatible 0/5 V control unit, to
be applied to the gating circuits of the IGBTs. The signals are input in the IGBT Chopper/Inverter module
through a nine-pin connector.
Six miniature banana jacks can be used as test points to monitor the pulse signals using an oscilloscope. These
jacks can also be used to inject 0/5 V pulse signals from an alternate control unit, as well as to inhibit each
gating circuit. The IGBT Chopper/Inverter module also includes a synchronization output to trigger an
oscilloscope when observing the switching control signals, as well as a switching control disable input that
allows all six IGBTs in the chopper/inverter section to be switched off.

Power Thyristors
8841-25

The Power Thyristors module consists of six power thyristors (SCRs) mounted in a half-size EMS enclosure. Each
individual thyristor is protected against overcurrents and short-circuits. All the anodes and cathodes of the
thyristors are terminated on the front panel by color-coded, 4 mm safety banana jacks. To reduce the number of
external connections, the most typical thyristor configurations can be achieved through the use of two toggle
switches on the front panel.
A firing control section allows six 0-5 V pulse signals from either the Data Acquisition and Control Interface,
Model 9063, the Thyristor Firing Unit, Model 9030, or any compatible 0-5 V control unit, to be applied to the
gating circuits of the thyristors. The signals are input in the Power Thyristors module through a nine-pin
connector.
Six miniature banana jacks in this section are used as test points to monitor the firing control signals using an
oscilloscope. They can also be used to inject 0-5 V pulse signals from an alternate firing unit, as well as to
inhibit each gating circuit. The Power Thyristors module also includes a synchronization output to trigger an
oscilloscope when observing the firing control signals as well as a firing control disable input that prevents all
six power thyristors from being fired.

The Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply is a highly versatile USB peripheral designed to be used in the
Electric Power Technology Training Systems. Two operating modes are available: Dynamometer and Power
Supply. A wide variety of user-selectable functions is available in each operating mode.
In the Dynamometer mode, the unit becomes a four-quadrant dynamometer that can act as either a fully
configurable brake (i.e., a mechanical load) or a fully configurable prime mover (i.e., a motor drive). In the
Power Supply mode, the unit becomes a four-quadrant power supply that can act as a dc voltage source, dc
current source, ac power source, etc.
In each operating mode, key parameters related to the selected function are displayed. Speed, torque,
mechanical power, and energy are displayed in the Dynamometer mode while voltage, current, electrical power,
and energy are displayed in the Power Supply mode. Optional functions, such as a small wind-turbine emulator,
a hydraulic turbine emulator, a solar panel emulator, battery chargers, an SDK (Software Development Kit) etc.,
can be added to the standard functions to further enhance the training possibilities of the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply.
Two modes are available to control the function which the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply
performs: Manual and Computer-Based.
In the Manual control mode, the module operates as a stand-alone unit, and the function performed is selected,
set, and monitored using front-panel mounted controls and display. This mode provides access to all basic
functions. In the Computer-Based control mode, the function performed by the module is selected, set, and
monitored using the LVDAC-EMS software. In this mode, communication between the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply and the host computer running the LVDAC-EMS software is achieved through a

Data Acquisition and Control Interface (without Function Set)


9063-00

The Data Acquisition and Control Interface (DACI) is a versatile USB peripheral used for measuring, observing,
analyzing, and controlling electrical and mechanical parameters in electric power systems and power
electronics circuits. For these purposes, a set of computer-based instruments as well as a variety of control
functions are available for the DACI. These instruments and control functions are accessed through the LVDACEMS software. The LVDAC-EMS software, as well as all available upgrades, is free and can be downloaded
anytime on the Festo Didactic website.
Together, the DACI and the LVDAC-EMS software allow training in various areas such as electric power
technology, ac/dc machines, renewable energy, transmission lines, and power electronics using modern and
versatile measuring instruments and control functions. LVDAC-EMS also offers the possibility to use pre-built
SCADA interfaces for several applications to ease the view and understanding of the process taking place. The
user guide provided allows students to quickly become familiar with the instruments and control functions
available.
Model 9063-0 includes only the DACI, Model 9063, with no control function set activated. This enables the user
to customize the DACI by individually picking the computer-based instruments and control function sets that he
wants to activate in the DACI.
Alternately, variant 9063-0 is also used in several courses as an extension module. This means that it is used in
conjunction to another DACI in which particular control function sets are activated. Both DACIs are connected to
a single computer running LVDAC-EMS. When used in such a way, variant 9063-0 shares all control function sets
activated in the other DACI. For example, if the Computer-Based Instrumentation Function, Model 9069-1, and
the Three-Phase PWM Rectifier/Inverter Control Function Set, Model 9069-5, are activated in the other DACI,
these function sets will also be available in variant 9063-0. This enables the user to perform courses requiring
the use of more than one DACI without having to activate the same control function sets in all DACIs.

Wind Turbine Generator/Controller (Optional)


8216-00

The Wind Turbine Generator/Controller mainly consists of the generator and controller of an actual small-scale
wind turbine, mounted in a full-size EMS module. The module also includes auxiliary components (a threephase diode rectifier and a set of three power resistors) that can be used to apply a variable electric load to the
generator. Color-coded, 4 mm safety banana jacks mounted on the front panel of the module provide access to
the generator windings, controller input and output, diode rectifier, and power resistors.
The generator in the Wind Turbine Generator/Controller is a three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous
generator. The controller is a power electronics device that converts the three-phase power produced by the
generator into dc power and ensures that the generator produces the maximum amount of power possible at
any wind speed within the operating range.
The controller also performs voltage regulation to maintain a constant dc voltage output and prevents
overcharging of the battery pack used to store the electrical energy produced by the wind turbine generator. A
control knob on the module front panel allows the maximum charge voltage to be adjusted. A LED on the
module front panel indicates the status (normal battery charging, voltage regulation, etc.) of the controller.
Battery charging can be stopped anytime through a switch on the front panel.

8968-30

The Turbine Emulator control function set is a package of control functions that can be activated in the FourQuadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960-2, enabling the module to emulate the operation of various
types of turbines.
The control functions in the set are only available in computer-based mode. This means that the function
performed by the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply is selected, set, and monitored using the LVDACEMS software. The following control functions are available in the set:
Dynamometer operating mode

Small Wind-Turbine Emulator: this function makes the permanent-magnet dc motor of the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply faithfully reproduce the effect of wind on the bladed rotor of a small-scale wind turbine.
The torque-speed characteristic at the shaft of the machine coupled to the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power
Supply is the same as the one that is obtained when wind blows at a certain speed on the rotor of the actual wind
turbine. The user has control over the wind speed and air density.

Hydraulic Turbine Emulator: this function uses the permanent-magnet dc motor of the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/
Power Supply to recreate the behavior of an hydraulic turbine with a synchronous generator. The torque-speed
characteristics at the shaft of the machine coupled to the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply is the same as
that of a Francis-type hydraulic turbine. The user has control over the vane angle (manually or through the module
analog input), the vane variation speed, and the inertia.
